Automount - Persistent mount shared folders in VirtualBox (ubuntu as gest, in xp host)

http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15868

With the command 'id' you can see the user and group id which are needed in the mount command.
The file /etc/rc.local is executed at the end of the boot sequence, hence the vboxsf file system is defined. Add the mount command(s) in the rc.local file:

sudo vi /etc/rc.local

add the following line before the 'exit 0' statement:

sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 xp_C /mnt/xp_C

where 1000 is the uid and gid of the default user in the ubuntu gest
xp_C is the name of the shared folder e.g. the disk C which you have to define first in the Devices/Shared Folders...
/mnt/xp_C is the directory you have to create first where the share folder is mounted

Bookmark A Page In Your PDF

With the long, yet wonderful, books in PDF format these days, there needs to be a better way to digitally bookmark where you left off. For some reason Adobe Reader (Acrobat Reader) doesn’t have this capability built in. I found a plugin for Acrobat Reader to do multiple bookmarks per document from PDF Hacks. However, I really just want it to be simple like a physical book – you bookmark the page you’re on when you stop and go to that page when you pick back up. So here is my plugin to bookmark your page in Adobe Reader.
